Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig thanked the Iowa Senate for its unanimous passage of the Iowa Farm Act, Senate File 2465, by a vote of 47 to 0.
The Iowa Farm Act is a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive legislative package introduced by Secretary Naig. It is designed to support Iowa farmers, strengthen rural communities and position the state’s agricultural economy for long-term success. The bill reflects priorities identified by farmers, agribusinesses and stakeholders and delivers practical solutions to today’s challenges while preparing for the future.
The legislation expands economic opportunities by supporting value-added agriculture, agritourism and new market access. It also provides targeted tax relief and regulatory clarity to reduce costs, promote fairness and support farm succession.
